The Harvard Book Prize, Scholarship, and Essay Award 2018

HELP US REACH HKD EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

We need your support to sustain the annual Book Prize and Scholarship as all costs are underwritten by the Harvard Club of Hong
Kong Education Fund, which is a tax exempt section 88 Charitable Institution.

Your donations will enable us to broaden our reach of the Book Prize to more schools and to offer the Scholarship to more students
to transform local students’ perspectives by attending the summer program at Harvard.

IMPACT

In 2017, a record breaking 219 schools participated and over 637 students received the Book Prize.

Winners of the Book Prize are eligible to apply for the Scholarship. The Scholarship presents an opportunity to change the lives
of underprivileged Hong Kong teenagers who are talented but may not otherwise have considered studying abroad or Harvard within their reach.

The Scholarship covers all expenses that allow Scholarship winners seven weeks at Harvard during the summer - they live and learn
on the historic campus, share meals with peers from all over the world, study with distinguished faculty, conduct research, and make use of one of the best library systems in the world.

We cannot read a book for others, discover the world for others, but we can give others the chance to do so for themselves.

You now have the opportunity to make a difference for those who admire Harvard's name from afar and provide recognition for the strive for excellence. We need your support to (i) continue the annual Harvard Book Prize and (ii) support the Harvard Book Prize Scholarship for the many talented students in Hong Kong.

For over a decade, the Harvard Club of Hong Kong has awarded the Book Prize to students for their academic and personal excellence. We reach out to all Hong Kong secondary schools, both local and international. The Club awards a winner prize and up to two runner-up prizes to each school. In 2016, 191 secondary schools participated and 554 students were awarded book prizes. Our goal is to increase the coverage of schools year by year, through proactive communication with schools, especially less privileged ones, because we believe the Prize and the award ceremony instill confidence in students by recognizing their academic as well as personal achievements. With the new Scholarship and Mentorship programs, we now offer opportunities for further exposure and growth.

We hope to deepen the impact of the Book Prize and to find new ways to encourage, challenge, and inspire exceptional students in Hong Kong. In 2016, we offered the Book Prize Scholarship for the 2nd year to sponsor four top local students to study at the Harvard Summer School. The scholarship will offer them seven weeks at Harvard in the summer of 2018; these students will live and learn on the historic campus, share meals with peers from all over the world, study with distinguished faculty, conduct research, and make use of one of the best library systems in the world. The Scholarship presents an opportunity to change the lives of Hong Kong teenagers who are talented but may not otherwise have considered studying abroad or Harvard within their reach.
